QTR-Quadtone RIP

Actually, if you can print out the calibration targert and measure the
(L value) of each of the 60% patches and email me with those, I can
tell you right away if its a bad cart. That would be rare, but it
could be possible.

If the measurements are correct, and you are using the correct profile
(K7-2880-HanPhotoRag) by example for Photo Rag, and are printing at
2880 and NOT touching the curve blending, gamma and ink limit - then I
would say that that is weird! Should be working.

The next step would be for me to measure a 21 step gradation to see if
its linear at a 2.2 Gamma which is what my profiler does. You should
be linear in relation to a Gamma of 2.2

And SPLITTONE uses the same K7 profile as Special Edition. So we do
want to figure out what is happening...
Can you also work directly with my techsupport staff?
techsupport (at) inkjetmall (dot) com
or phone in directly on Monday at (802) 439-3127

those tests are going to be necessary if the workflow is correct. we
can get you fresh ink if you got a bum cart.
